Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Wang Zhuo looked embarrassed, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Sir, don't worry. Let me do this matter. It won't involve Ze'er." Li Xingxian said very righteously.

What Wang Zhuo was waiting for was Li Xingxian's words. He finally let out a long sigh and relaxed his tightly clenched hands.

"Xian'er, I have watched you grow up. To be presumptuous, it is not an exaggeration to say that I treat you as my son. On this matter, I still feel that..."

He did not continue to say the rest, but smacked his lips and said, "Okay, whatever you say, after all, Ze'er is our hope. If I can let him have no worries, I will rest in peace in my grave."

"Sir, you... why do you say such discouraging words?" Li Xingxian was puzzled. Why would the sir say such pessimistic words when the war was imminent?

At this point, Li Junze could no longer remain silent. He told Li Xingxian about Wang Zhuo's condition, "My grandfather is now hanging on by a thread, and he has been taking ginseng slices all the time. He is holding on with his life."

After today's ordeal, Wang Zhuo's physical condition must have become worse.

Li Xingxian was horrified. He didn't expect that Wang Zhuo, who was not that old, would be in such a physical condition.

"The court doctor said that grandpa has been worrying too much for a long time and his body is seriously weak. If he rests peacefully now, maybe his condition will improve. But in this situation, how can he...ah..."

Li Junze's words were sincere and heartfelt, and Li Xingxian felt very uncomfortable after hearing them. "Sir, after this matter is over, if possible, I will take you to Jiangnan to live a comfortable life for a few years."

His words pleased Wang Zhuo very much, and he immediately smiled, looked at Li Xingxian kindly, and said with emotion,

"Xian'er, you are the one I am most satisfied with among my many students. If I hadn't insisted on letting Yan'er enter the palace, I'm afraid you would have been my son-in-law now."

Li Xingxian knew in his heart that Wang Zhuo was putting all the pressure on him. The Wang family girl was allowed to enter the palace on the request of the palace, so how could he refuse?

Deputy General Liu Qingfeng came in and said, "Your Highness, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

Li Xingxian then remembered that the army had not had their meal yet because they were waiting for them to come, so he quickly apologized to Wang Zhuo.

"I was so busy chatting that I forgot you guys haven't had your meal yet. Sir, let's eat first and have a good rest. We will start the attack tomorrow."

Wang Zhuo nodded, "Okay, okay, let's eat."

Without waiting for Wang Zhuo to finish his words, Liu Qingfeng turned around and walked to the door curtain. With a force, he lifted the curtain up, and a group of people came in one after another.

The meals in the military camp were extremely simple, a bowl of meat soup and a large pancake. Wang Zhuo and Li Junze didn't have much appetite after seeing these. They only ate a few symbolic bites and then said they were tired and returned to the tents prepared for them early.

Inside, Gu Xunwei and the guards guarding her were already waiting. When they saw Wang Zhuo and the others coming back, the guards hurried forward to greet them.

Wang Zhuo glanced at him without saying much, and Li Junze helped him sit on the chair.

"Ms. Gu, I'm so sorry for making you suffer with us." Wang Zhuo said politely.

Gu Xunwei smiled lightly and said softly, "What are you talking about, Master Wang? Compared to what you are going to do, my grievance is nothing."

"Miss Gu is so understanding, which surprises me. No wonder the Second Prince is so concerned about you and has gone to such great lengths to find you."

Wang Zhuo was trying to trick her with words to see if he could get anything out of her.

"Master Wang, you are joking. I am a woman in the harem, and I am divorced. How could I let the Second Prince do this? I think it must be my father who asked the Second Prince for help."

Gu Xunwei was very active at this time. She knew that Wang Zhuo and the others were about to have a big battle, so she wanted to see how much of a role she could play, so she was testing her relationship with Li Junhao.

Naturally, she couldn't say that she was very familiar with Li Junhao, so she could only lead the conversation to the relationship between her father and Li Junhao.

After hearing this, Li Junze asked Wang Zhuo with some displeasure, "Grandfather, since she is of no use at all, why don't we just kill her and save trouble."

He looked at Gu Xunwei with unfriendly eyes. Although Gu Qiongsi was no longer by his side, he still remembered the promise he had made to her.

He once told Gu Qiongsi that he would help her get rid of Gu Xunwei.

This woman was obviously deep-minded and scheming. Other women would have been frightened to death if they encountered such a thing, but now, apart from looking a little tired, she seemed to be normal.

Even in her smile, there was a hint of calmness.

Wang Zhuo shook his head and said, "Zer, don't worry. Miss Gu will lead the charge for us tomorrow. If the Second Prince sees this, he will definitely not dare to act rashly.

If we can enter the palace without bloodshed, our chances of winning will be much higher."

Gu Xunwei understood as soon as she heard it. They wanted her to appear in their team tomorrow to threaten Li Junhao not to take any action, otherwise they would kill her.

Even if they didn't know the true relationship between him and Li Junhao, based on what he said, Li Junhao would definitely not take action because of his father's life-saving grace.

However, Li Junze did not think so. "Grandfather, will Li Junhao really give up resistance because of such a woman? Ze'er thinks the possibility is very small."

He is an ambitious man, and so is Li Junhao. Otherwise, they would not have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years.

Wang Zhuo took another look at Gu Xunwei's beautiful face. It was indeed a pity. If she was not a merchant girl and if she was not divorced, Li Junhao might really be attracted to her.

"Okay, Ze'er, you don't have to guess too much. This is just grandpa's preparation. We can find out tomorrow."

Wang Zhuo waved his hand, not wanting to say more. He was really tired today. "Take him out."

After the guard bowed, he took Gu Xunwei, whose hands were still tied, out of the tent.

Li Junze wanted to say something else, but seeing Wang Zhuo's tired look, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, "Father, I will wait for you to rest."

Wang Zhuo nodded, his body tired but his heart at peace, "Ze'er, after tomorrow, our lives will be rewritten. Are you ready?"
